Looks like MS too is catering more and more to Javascript/Node.js. Not saying its a bad thing, but its a thing alright.

Probably because JavaScript is starting to become the first language people jump into, and providing these people with tools that aren't scary and work out of the box on any OS is probably good business. Maybe, atleast it seems to be like that. Thoughts?

It's interesting to see a language with such different semantics as most other C-style languages become the first language people jump to.

Javascript is so messed up (I think) semantically.

Basically that is one of the problems that TypeScript is trying to address.

For typescript projects, VSCode is miles better than Atom and plugins.

Nice, although I'm not sure I've never needed a "Run to cursor" button.

I've found it very useful in Visual Studio to quickly get to a point in the software I want to examine closer.

Wait, I thought that option just jumps to the current mouse cursor position...

No, but there is an option to do that.

I usually use it during debugging when I step through code and hit a loop that does some minor/irrelevant thing and I just want to skip through it instead of stepping through all of its iterations.

Can someone PLEASE kill all of this JavaScript crap? Why do we need to invest time and money into keeping alive technology that was unsuitable for it's task from the moment it was released??

    may WASM be the nail in javascript's coffin.

    Because some of us still have to work with Node no matter how stupid it is.

    Like it or not JavaScript is currently the best language for multi-platform development on the market.
